The photos tell all of the story I have unfortunately. I played the guitar and loved it. It sounds amazing and has an unexpected 'mojo'. When I took it apart I was confused. Someone went through the trouble of stamping the heel of the neck 'Nov 2 1964'. If there was a serial number on the neck, it has been rubbed off and replaced with wear, sweat and obviously serious play. I replaced the nut with the best 'bone' product I could and there is no fret buzz. The electronics in the body all look to be an ST357, but the multi-part body is mysterious. The case is SKB, snug, also very used, but does its job. Please feel free to ask questions or share thoughts and information. But please, be courteous and respectful. I'm not awful or your enemy.
